Seth Rogan, Judd Apatow Slam Washington Post Op-Ed Writer Ann Hornaday
As we all know by now, 32-year-old actor, writer, director, and producer Seth Rogan is not shy when it comes to addressing his opposition on Twitter.
He's known for criticizing pop star Justin Bieber on a countless number of occasions and even took a hit at rapper Macklemore earlier this month for his highly controversial anti-Semitism costume.
So who is Rogan's latest target on the online social site?
It is The Washington Post's movie critic, Ann Hornaday.
Rogan made sure to rip Hornaday to shreds and brought along his pal and film producer Judd Apatow to help him do his dirty work.
The feud first began following Hornaday's not-so-great review of Rogan's and Apatow's overall body of work.
In her op-ed piece, Hornaday referenced Rogan's recent hit film, "Neighbors" and Apatow's overall film work as encouragement for sexist thinking and behavior. Hornaday even went as far as alluding to the notion that Rogan and Apatow's work could have led to Elliot Rodger's deadly shooting spree.
Entertainment Weekly reports that Hornaday wrote, "How many students watch outsized frat-boy fantasies like Neighbors and feel, as Rodger did, unjustly shut out of college life that should be full of 'sex and fun and pleasure'? How many men, raised on a steady diet of Judd Apatow comedies in which the shlubby arrested adolescent always gets the girl, find that those happy endings constantly elude them and conclude, 'It's not fair'?"
Naturally, Rogan went on a bashing spree of their own on Twitter.
On Monday, Rogan said:
.@AnnHornaday I find your article horribly insulting and misinformed.
— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) May 26, 2014
Soon after, he said:
.@AnnHornaday how dare you imply that me getting girls in movies caused a lunatic to go on a rampage. — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) May 26, 2014
Following the Twitter tirade, Hornaday issued a video response saying, "In singling out Neighbors and Judd Apatow, I by no means meant to cast blame on those movies or Judd Apatow's work for this heinous action." She added: "But I do think, again, it bears all of us asking what the costs are of having such a narrow range of stories that we constantly go back to."
